>If you're serious about a retranslation, the last thing you want to do is to repeat WD's acts

I was more coming from the angle of if you want to play Lunar 1 in English and don't want to have to deal with Victor Ireland's cool jokes, going with the Ubi script version is at least better than going from this French script back to English.

I personally don't care about a retranslation. Much as I complain about his arrogance in changing game design and super lame humor, Working Designs brought out a lot of games we otherwise wouldn't have seen and when he's not trying to be funny it's not bad. I weep at the thought of a world where we only ever got the terrible remakes of Lunar 1 and 2.

>The modern localization ethos hinges on the view that game stories are consumerist trash and that it's more profitable to eliminate standards to chase the fabled wider audience.

I would say that what you described was how things have always been. It's only recently that people are starting to really notice and challenge that notion.
